IN THE GHETTO

By Elvis Presley

THE FULL LYRICS

As the snow flies on a cold and grey Chicago morning

A poor little baby child is born

In the ghetto.  

<>()<>

And his mama cries ‘cause if there’s one thing she doesn’t need

Is another hungry mouth to feed

In the ghetto.

<>()<> 

Ah, people don’t you understand

A child needs your helping hand;

He’s going to be an angry young man some day

Oh, take a look at you and me,

Are we too blind to see?

Do we simply turn our heads

And look the other way?

 <>()<>

Well the world turns and a hungry little boy with a runny nose

Plays in the street and the cold wind blows,

In the ghetto

 <>()<>

And his hunger burns, so he starts to roam the streets at night

And he learns how to steal and he learns how to fight

In the ghetto.

 <>()<>

Then one night in desperation,

The young man breaks away.

He buys a gun and steals a car;

He tries to run but he doesn’t get far,

And his mama cries  

<>()<>

As the crowd gathers round an angry young man,

Face down in the street with a gun in his hand

In the ghetto.

 <>()<>

And as a young man dies on a cold and grey chicago morning,

Another little baby child is born

In the ghetto.

 <>()<>

And his mama cries.....
